Pre-Advertisement Notice for Annual Sanitary Sewer Repairs

The City of Atlanta, through its Department of Watershed Management, is initiating a multi-step sealed bid process to procure services for the ongoing rehabilitation, renewal, and repair of its sanitary sewer collection system. This effort, identified by solicitation number PE-66062-NONST-2026-000000373, begins with a prequalification phase requiring vendors to demonstrate adequate staffing, equipment, materials, and field experience to handle multiple simultaneous work assignments across various City locations. Successful bidders will operate under a unit-price contract structure with no guaranteed minimum volume, receiving work orders as needed over a one-year period. Each work order must be initiated within 14 days of issuance and completed according to approved schedules and City directives. Work includes a broad range of activities such as bypass pumping, sewer cleaning, CCTV and sonar inspections, point repairs, open-cut replacement, CIPP, pipe bursting, jack-and-bore installations, manhole rehabilitation, traffic control, utility coordination, and pavement or landscape restoration. Performance occurs throughout the City’s sewer infrastructure, including inter-jurisdictional areas when required, with final acceptance made at the job site by the Department of Watershed Management. Contractors are responsible for full logistical execution, including material procurement, transportation, and site restoration, without explicit FOB terms specified. All work must adhere strictly to the City’s Contract Documents, particularly those derived from the Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) Program, though specific industry standards like ASTM or NASSCO are not explicitly cited. The City retains authority to direct work, inspect performance, and require corrections at the contractor’s expense, with defective work reporting mandated within three business days. Coordination with utilities and private property owners is the contractor’s responsibility, and work items may be issued individually or in combination without additional compensation. While no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or payment details are provided in the given materials, the solicitation process follows municipal procurement norms rather than federal FAR structures, and offers must be submitted by the May 29, 2026 deadline via a sealed bid process after prequalification. A pre-solicitation conference will be held to clarify requirements, and no socioeconomic set-asides, unique entity identifiers, or SAM registration are required. The estimated contract value is not disclosed, with detailed pricing to be determined during the subsequent Invitation for Bid phase.
